That night
I went to bed feeling miserable. Notes with Edward had ended badly; I finally regained the power of speech and started screaming abuse at him. Man this was terrible, but it wasn't true. No it couldn't be, I wouldn't let it.
The next school day came way to quick. I decided to go hunting; I needed to get away from Edward and his constant attempts at 'comforting' me. I waited till the others had left and then dispersed, slipping out to window that formed a whole wall of my room and sprinting stealthily into the woods. I ran without thinking about it, dodging around the trees subconsciously, my mind wandering to her. As I entered a familiar clearing I saw startled deer fleeing across the other side of the brook. Fuck I should've been more careful… I could still have easily caught them but I was too engaged in my thoughts. How did I not smell them? I returned home walking at a human pace. I lost a track of time. I just wandered along following my mind, knowing somehow it would take me home, but not thinking about it, only about her.
Edwards POV
I looked down at the ivory keys beneath my fingers and then turned away letting out a hiss of disapproval. I looked over to the window where Rosalie was perched, her eyes scanning the yard for any sign of Alice. She had been gone almost a week now. Her sudden disappearance was a mystery to everyone save Rosalie and I. I had told Rosalie about Alice's feelings. She was angry at first, but as I listened to her thoughts now there was only concern. We had often discussed Alice's… differences; we both saw it coming, although I never thought she would react like this. The new girl at school, Bella, had asked about Alice, though she didn't seem all that concerned, I think she was just trying to act courteous after Alice had shown her some decency. I stilled my thoughts here; poor Alice this human wasn't good enough. I let out a small growl, Rosalie's head snapped around to face mine. Her forehead was creased with anxiety, but somehow she wore it with grace and beauty, as she searched my face for an explanation. 'This human, Bella, she's going to hurt Alice' I said, spitting the humans name coldly. I looked down in disdain and tried again to form some melody around the cold keys, but my mind was full of concern for Alice and contempt for the girl. I pushed away from the piano violently, sending it flying across the floor, luckily Rosalie leapt up and brought it to a halt just inches away from the wall. I looked down somewhat ashamed of my anger, 'Thank you.'
'No prob. Edward… she'll be ok, this is Alice were talking about remember? She's the toughest person we know…"
'She's also the most stubborn Rose, if she loves this girl, and I know she does, she's not going to let go of it… this girl doesn't even love her back! She's in with a fucking dog!' I would've continued on my rant but Rosalie cut me off…
'Alice!!' Rosalie darted for the front door, reaching it in fractions of a second. I followed but stopped on the porch. Alice was swaying along in a somewhat druggy fashion there was something different, I looked at her face and listened to her thoughts.
I love her Edward… she's the one…I looked sternly at her face and then cocked my head to one side in a questioning manner, she nodded. Rosalie was embracing her sister, fusing over her, badgering her for the trouble she caused and trying to conceal the relief she felt having her home again. When she nodded she let go of her and held her out at arms distance. 'I know Alice, we've always known… its going to be alright I promise… she smiled and pulled her sister back into a tight embrace.
